### Conservative FV Immersed boundary method for compressible flow

Is there a conservative FV second-order (or first-order) accurate immersed boundary method for compressible flow including moving boundaries (in the literature)? By compressible flow I mean the ...

### Finding maximum value in huge dataset

I am working on a project involving some pattern recognition. For this I need to find the maximum value in a huge multidimensional dataset. For example I have a discrete 5-dimensional space containing ...

### Is discontinuous Galerkin really any more parallelizable than continuous Galerkin?

I've always heard that easy parallelization was one of the advantages of DG methods, but I don't really see why any of those reasons don't also apply to continuous Galerkin.

### last column of SPD matrix given it's spectral decomposition

I'm working on this application where I get the spectral decomposition (O,D) of a matrix A for free (A is of full rank) but not A itself, and I need to only recover the last column of A. I was ...

### gather data from processors in FFTW3 MPI

The parallel FFTW3 distributes different portions of a large data to different processors, so that each processor obtains and manipulates only a small fraction of the large size data that wants to be ...

### What is the impact of C++11 move semantics in the context of scientific computing?

C++11 introduces move semantics which can, for example, improve code performance in situations where C++03 would need to perform a copy construction or copy assignment. This article reports that ...

### Why would a computational scientist need to implement their own version of std::complex?

Many of the better-known C++ libraries in computational science such as Eigen, Trilinos, and deal.II use the standard C++ template header library object, ...

### Modal analysis of structure with aerodynamic damping

I'm using modal decomposition to predict the steady state response of a beam structure to harmonic loading. The structure itself is very lightly damped, but we know from experiments that the ...
